Karma is an A-type personality who makes sure you get a lot out of the class, but she's also incredibly emotionally in tune, which is a rare and amazing mix. She makes sure you get the moves while also keeping the environment supportive, comfortable, and celebratory. I love when she gets so excited that she literally starts screaming because someone in class is going off. She celebrates people constantly, by name or even just noticing something they're rocking like, "Yes, GREEN JUMPSUIT!" Being the only guy in the class, I've never once felt isolated, judged, or uncomfortable about assumptions people might make about me. I've only ever felt celebrated. It was refreshing not having to navigate that in a public place. She encourages fluidity in whatever way feels right for you, whether it's super masc, super feminine, or somewhere in between. Her focus is helping you connect to your artistic dance spirit, and that's when you know you're doing it right. She also celebrates neurodiversity and really focuses on what the strengths are within that, while also helping people navigate certain challenges. Karma's class is more than just learning choreography. Watching her dance is witnessing powerful, raw, and inspiring artistry. When she demos, it honestly feels like a mini performance during class. Then when she dances with us right after, you feel like this epic backup dancer, and it inspires new moves and articulations within you. There's also a strong sense of community in Karma's class. She's built a culture where you not only bring self-love to the class, but appreciation and love for the people dancing alongside you. Someone might be doing a twerk, an offbeat wild move on their chair, or some epic crawl across the floor, and the whole class erupts with roaring encouragement. Karma encourages asking questions about the dance moves and routines. She absolutely loves them. But remember, she's an A-type personality, so be sure to raise your hand. ; ] She's also a motivational instructor because she's real. She doesn't say generic things. Sometimes she shares philosophies or lessons that helped her in life, and I've caught myself thinking, "How is this level of Impacting dialogue happening in a chair dance class?" It's a one-of-a-kind experience that involves a chair, saucy moves, and surprising moments of human-centered community, full of loving people hosted by the radiant Karma! read more

I took a Hip Hop 1-2 class with LaShawn and loved it! She had great energy and challenged us to push ourselves. I also appreciated her focus on hip hop fundamentals like popping and waving as part of our warmup. While I enjoyed the class, I think it would have been intimidating if it was my first time setting foot in a dance studio. I would encourage the front desk employees to greet first time visitors and give them a brief rundown of the space, where to place your belongings, what to expect from class, etc. A lot of the people in the class seemed to know each other already which just shows you how popular these classes are. I hope to return soon! read more

I had a relatively good time taking a cardio dance class here! I visited this fitness studio on a Saturday morning and it was packed! Walking-in, the music was loudly playing and the interior had a party type of vibe. Thankfully there were ear plugs available for purchase. Checking-in was a bit difficult since it was hard for me to hear the receptionist due to the loud music. She was also wasn't the most friendly or welcoming which didn't make me feel great. I also needed to use the bathroom and her directions weren't very clear, so I had to ask her where to locate it a couple of times. I ended up using the bathroom at a nearby spa which I'm not sure if that's the bathroom she was referring to. There were lots of cubbies to store my stuff before taking the class which was nice. The age demographic of the participants was on the higher side, but everyone seemed so energetic. The instructor was also fun and lively. I liked her hip-hop style choreography which was full of energy and grooves. I was impressed that she was able to dance with so much energy for an hour straight. I overall enjoyed the music selection and choreography of the class. Overall, a decent experience here. Since it was my first time, I was able to get into this class for $15. Otherwise it would be $30 which I think is a bit pricey compared to regular dance classes in LA that go for 1 hour and 30 minutes for around $20. However, I do recognize this could be the standard for these types of classes. I wouldn't go out of my way to do this again, but would be possibly down if someone invited me. More of a preference, but I would feel more comfortable taking classes like these with people closer to my age demographic. read more

Love this place for cardio dance, hip hop and zumba. The instructors are high energy and makes each class super fun! There's 2 floors, so it's great to enjoy various types of classes and get your laugh and sweat on! read more

I'm always switching up my workouts. To cycling, yoga, crossfit and now Zumba! I was searching for a dance studio that offers Zumba. I came accords LA DanceFit Studio. Not only do they offer Zumba classes, but they offer 1 comp class. I love this offer because you get to "test it" out before investing. I easily signed up for a comp class. Parking was a bit tricky as it is only street parking really. If I remember, they do have maybe 2/3 spots located in the back, but those were takin. When I walked in, I was greeted by a nice gentleman who walked me to the second level. He let me know to go at my own pace and to just have fun. I'm glad he gave me this tip as I've only done Zumba once before years ago. There was a good amount of people taking the class. The studio was big enough for everyone to spread out and move about. The instructor started us with a warm up and then we got into it. The music was great and the energy in the room was everything. It was a great workout and I felt really good afterwards. Great workout! read more

LA DanceFit Studio - The studio on the second level... Zumba! - Dance Studios Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've taken Hip Hop and Zumba classes at LA Dance Fit and overall, I had a great experience. The dance instructors are very talented, have a lot of energy, and make the classes fun. The only reason I am giving four stars instead of five, is the lack of ventilation on the dance floor. The classes can get crowded, and in the summertime especially, it would help to have more fans spread across the room or even ceiling fans so it wont be as hot and stuffy. Other than this, everything else was great. read more

I've been going to this studio for years and it's such a lovely place! They have such a variety of classes and a great selection to choose from. I've taken everything from jazz to hip hop to contemporary to Bollywood to heels. I love that they have classes both day and night to fit my schedule. The teachers are all fantastic and do a great job of breaking down moves yet still make it challenging enough for seasoned pros. I also love how they let you sample new classes for free every now and then. read more

Zumba with Dennis was incredible! Had the best time getting a great cardio workout in. The studio had good parking, and vibey lighting inside. It was my first time and you could tell everyone genuinely loved coming here. Thanks for being so welcoming everyone! Can't wait for the next! read more

LA DanceFit is an amazing studio! I've been going for years and have always liked the Cardio Hip Hop classes. The instructors have great energy and I end up feeling pretty pumped after the dance sessions. I also like the follow along classes so it's a good way to decompress. I recently took Cardio Hip Hop with Jerod and he was so fun and upbeat. His playlist felt like a good mix of clubbing and empowerment jams. The time flies by and it gets pretty sweaty in there. There is a single bathroom downstairs and upstairs. Parking is available in the neighborhood. Bring your own water - didn't see a refill station. read more

So much fun and such a great workout! I love that certain classes are easy to follow so you actually get a work out. You will definitely get a great cardio workout and have fun while doing it! LOVE IT!! read more

Honestly one of my favorite dance studios, and would recommend it especially for beginner/ intermediate level dancers! The classes they offer range from heels to cardio hip hop. Their beginner classes are actually beginner-friendly (not intimidating like some other studios in LA) and the instructors are all friendly. They also have "Dance Teams" each year where students can sign up to perform in a showcase! I did the heels team with Federica this past year and it was a lot of fun. Would recommend trying it out! read more

Easy to follow dance moves. Hip Hop with Wil is energetic,fun and oh my what a workout Tuesday's & Thursday's Great Zumba moves and hitting g all the Latin styles Recitals are amazing watching all come alive performing with their teachers it's always a highlight to take a class or be part of a special event this studio offers Thank You LA DanceFit read more

definitely not the #1 best dance fitness studio in Los Angeles ( no clue where they got that from) false advertising Equinox over this any day Extremely unprofessional: some self entitled employee wearing pink with blonde hair today was awfully rude doesn't know basic customer service or how to mind their own business No parking Non competitive rates waste of money read more

the best teachers and customer service. LA DanceFit is my family. They have been part of a dream team helping me navigate the sudden tragic death of my beautiful firstborn daughter Katrina. Moving through dance is medicine to move grief and not stay stuck in it. I love LA Dancefit. This was my 3rd year joint a dance team. My first was in 2022 just 5 months after my daughter died and they were instrumental and compassionate and supportive. When life gets lifey. Just dance at LA DanceFit. First year I did hip hop Will Second year I did salsa with Fayad 3rd year which is this year I did Reggaeton with Dennis. All of which are top notch teachers. Next up beautiful Brooke and I am super excited for that. I love her. read more

Had an absolute blast in Kosta's class! I'll definitely be back! Thank you so much Kosta!

Great energy and awesome workout. I'm not a dancer, yet never felt overwhelmed. Very fun and challenging!!!

The heels class I took with Federica on a Saturday was awesome. She's a wonderful teacher, but be mindful that this is a Heels 1/2 class so you have to have basic dance skills and/or talent for retaining choreography to keep up in this class. The parking is really easy with paid parking all long the street. It's a two-story studio with classes going on simultaneously. There is sound bleed from the other studio, but once the music is on in your studio, you won't notice it. The studio floor does look and feel a little dirty and the front desk woman was a little cold to me, but other than that, this studio has lots of offerings with what appears to be great, welcoming teachers, so I'll be back! read more

I took off one point because the classes get very crowded- but I love the teachers, wide variety of classes and the inclusive. All are welcome from pros to people with no dance skills who love the vibe. All ages welcome too. Give it a whirl - first class is free! read more

Great variety of classes.'Instructors are professional energetic and great motivators. The people I have been in classes with are welcoming and made me feel part of the group. Best to get passes for classes to save money. Flexible and ease to come to any class. Sheryl read more

I was really looking forward to coming here, but I was really disappointed. I arrived 10 minutes early like it says to do on the website and when I arrived, no one was there to greet me or to point me towards where my class was. I had to figure out where the class was on my own. When I found the class, no one greeted me and instead they actually looked at me like I didn't belong. As far as the dancing go, don't go here unless you're an expert at dancing. They said all levels were welcome, but the dance instructor was having the class do complex choreography which surprised me since the class was meant for beginners. The website made the classes look like a welcoming and fun space but I felt isolated and miserable. If you're thinking about coming here, just opt for a YouTube dance video instead. read more

I was very apprehensive never done anything like that before. The instructor broke down all the steps and taught us a routine and I learned something new. read more

This was my first time back since the pandemic and it brought a tear to my eye to be dancing live. I've been coming here for 10 years and love the studio and owners. The classes are always a great workout, there's a class and teacher to suit just about anyone. The studio is attractive, clean, and well ventilated. Bring water and a towel. I have to be careful because I'm high risk, otherwise, I'd come more often. I think I'll look into the Wollen Dance streaming option for their classes. read more

Fun class Great music clear instruction nice dance routine every class Happy friendly people

Madhavi's Bollywood Pop Dance class was SO MUCH FUN! I immediately bought a package after trying it for the first time this evening. It's challenging but they are very welcoming to beginners. Yay! read more

I love LA DanceFit Studio. Manu is an ideal instructor. His positive high energy, make me feel like a dancer steps, I have to move music choices, and high and low level of exercise options for the same routine, are all easy to do. I feel like I am just having fun. I forget I am exercising. read more

People who work there are fantastic. The instructors are fantastic. The Music is banging. Its clean and well maintained. Love it! Been dancing there for 8yrs + now. I take breaks sometimes. Cause I am a lazy sloth read more

I went to LA Dance Fit to rent studio space and bring something "NEW" the studio has never seen before. Unfortunately upon arrival I was met with very unprofessional costumer service. The studio owner was on the phone 20-25 mins while I was just standing around. When she finally spoke to me about studio rental she was a bit cocky but I was still interested. Although I heard a voice inside me saying- move on this studio is not going to be respectful of my time I still preceded to email the owner to move forward. After emailing the owner three days went by with no reply so I called her and she apologized for not replying in a timely manner. fast forward three more days (6 days) total no reply. I'm not sure how this studio considers itself to be a top studio in West LA...? Our time and dreams are precious. Please find yourself a studio that believes in you. Most studios just want your money. Do your research and don't settle for a studio like LA Dance Fit. read more

The studio, students and especially instructor (Jingle!!) were fantastic. This was my first time at the studio and one of my very first dance classes and I felt very comfortable and welcome. Learned a lot and will 100% be back! read more

Great instructors! People at the front desk are friendly. Great vibe all around! 5 stars!

I tried out one of their free classes for the first time members, and loved it. Afterwards, a $99 unlimited pass for all classes was offered for a month, and I also very well enjoyed that. My favorite classes are Dancebody, Cardio Pop, and Wil to Dance's Hip Hop. Parking is actually pretty tough here, so you have to get there earlier to find parking. I was able to find a good workout through the variety of dance classes offered here. read more
